Ante – Ante EP

I’m finally holding this EP in my hands. I’d been looking forward to it ever since I found out this demo was getting released on a 7” vinyl. I first noticed Ante a few months ago, when the first mentions of the project started appearing online. According to the booklet,...

For a country with eighteen million...
